Chapter 88: Goodbye Zhou and Lianger
"Yes, I will." Gu Xiaoyou responded softly, raising the corners of her mouth with a bright smile.
Mu Wuchen looked at her smiling face, raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and said gently with his eyes: "The doctor said you need to rest, let me help you go to bed to rest."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou did not refuse, letting Mu Wuchen's big hands support her and slowly walked to the bed.
Gu Xiaoyou lifted the quilt and lay on the bed.
Mu Wuchen warned, "You have a good rest here. I'll go do some errands. If anything happens, just call someone. There will be someone guarding the door."
"Well, I understand, go and do your work." Gu Xiaoyou said obediently, and then yawned widely.
"Go to sleep." Mu Wuchen tucked Gu Xiaoyou's quilt, watched her close her eyes, and then turned and left the room.
Mu Wuchen opened the door and ordered: "You should stay here carefully. When she wakes up, come to me in the study."
"Yes, Master, I will take good care of Doctor Gu." Mr. Wang said respectfully.
"Yeah." Mu Wuchen responded lightly and walked towards the study.
Mr. Wang watched Mu Wuchen's upright figure leave, respectfully stood at the door, and guarded the door honestly.
Gu Xiaoyou fell into a deep sleep in the room. This time, he did not have any nightmares, but had sweet dreams.
While Gu Xiaoyou was sleeping soundly, a carriage, accompanied by the golden-red light of the setting sun, steadily arrived at the mansion.
Meng Yu got down from the carriage and opened the curtain of the carriage: "We're here, get off the carriage."
"Oh, okay." Mrs. Zhou took Liang'er down from the carriage.
"Follow me." Meng Yu said succinctly and strode towards the mansion.
Mrs. Zhou took Liang'er and quickly followed behind her.
She looked around the mansion quietly, and saw the high-walled courtyard of the mansion. At first glance, it was not an ordinary house.
It was more luxurious than the homes of wealthy families that Zhou had seen in Qingcheng County.
She felt a chill in her heart and lowered her head, not daring to look around.
"Liang'er, follow mother obediently. Don't run around or look around." Mrs. Zhou warned in a low voice.
"I understand, mother." Liang'er responded obediently, imitating Zhou's way of walking with her head down.
Meng Yu didn't know what the mother and son were thinking, so he strode ahead. He didn't hear the footsteps for a long time, and then he looked back.
He walked too fast, leaving Zhou and Liang'er far behind.
Meng Yu had no choice but to stand there and wait for a while. When the two people appeared, he led them toward the room where Gu Xiaoyou was.
When the three people passed by the yard, it was already dark.
They walked along a path and happened to meet Mu Wuchen coming out of the study.
Two servants held the lamp for Mu Wuchen one after the other. The light shone on Mu Wuchen's body, making his figure extraordinarily handsome and tall.
Meng Yu immediately stopped, saluted Mu Wuchen, and said respectfully: "I have met the master, and I have brought the Zhou family back."
"You are here." Mu Wuchen stopped and said calmly.
Mrs. Zhou bowed to Mu Wuchen and said sincerely, "I have met Mr. Mu. Thank you Mr. Mu for saving Xiaoyou's life."
Liang'er followed Meng Yu's example and saluted, and said gracefully: "Thank you, Brother Mu, for saving Aunt Gu."
Mu Wuchen raised his hand slightly to signal them to get up: "No need to be polite, Xiaoyou is in the room, you can follow me to see her."
"Thank you, Master Mu." Mrs. Zhou thanked her, took Liang'er's hand, and followed Mu Wuchen to the room.
When the group came to the door of the room, Mu Wuchen asked Mr. Wang who was guarding the door: "Is Gu Xiaoyou awake?"
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "Dr. Gu was fast asleep, and I didn't hear the sound."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of shuffling shoes, and the door was opened from the inside.
Gu Xiaoyou yawned sleepily and complained: "Why are there so many footsteps? You guys are so noisy."
When Liang'er saw Gu Xiaoyou, she immediately threw away Zhou's hand and rushed over: "Aunt Gu, it's great that you're okay. You're so angry. I'm so worried about you..."
With that said, Liang'er hugged Gu Xiaoyou's thigh and started crying.
Gu Xiaoyou suddenly woke up and coaxed distressedly: "Liang'er, be good, don't cry, am I not doing well?"
Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears and walked forward: "He is so happy."
"You should smile when you are happy. Liang'er won't cry anymore. If your eyes are hurt from crying, you won't be able to read." Gu Xiaoyou coaxed her a few words softly.
Liang'er's tears gradually stopped, and she said with sobs, "Auntie, it's so nice to see you."
"I'm also very happy to see Liang'er. Come on, let's go into the house." Gu Xiaoyou touched Liang'er's head and led him through the door.
Zhou hesitated and did not dare to follow her until Gu Xiaoyou turned around and called: "Sister Zhou, come in."
Zhou glanced at Mu Wuchen subconsciously and saw that he had no objection, so she boldly went in.
Gu Xiaoyou took Liang'er to a chair and sat down, pointing to the seat next to her: "Sister Zhou, come and sit."
"Hey, okay." Zhou quickly walked a few steps and sat down next to Gu Xiaoyou.
She looked at Gu Xiaoyou carefully and felt a little relieved when she saw that she was in good spirits.
"Xiaoyou, how are you?" Zhou asked with concern.
Gu Xiaoyou spread his hands and said, "Except for the slight injury on my hand, I'm not feeling well anymore."
"Let me see."
Mrs. Zhou carefully held Gu Xiaoyou's hand, and when she saw the large and small scratches on her palm and fingers, tears instantly came to her eyes.
"Sister Zhou, why are you crying? It's just that your hand was slightly injured, but I saved my life." Gu Xiaoyou comforted her carelessly.
Mrs. Zhou quickly wiped away her tears: "Okay, I won't cry."
Liang'er leaned over and blew on Gu Xiaoyou's hand: "I'll blow it for you, and your hand won't hurt anymore."
"Really, it doesn't hurt at all, thank you Liang'er." Gu Xiaoyou said in an exaggerated way.
The flying look made both Zhou and Liang'er laugh. Gu Xiaoyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that mother and son finally showed their smiling faces.
"Xiaoyou, please tell me what happened last night." Zhou asked with concern.
Gu Xiaoyou frowned and recalled: "I was sleeping soundly last night, and suddenly I felt hot. When I woke up, the room was full of smoke. I originally wanted to call someone, but my throat was so smoked that I couldn't scream..."
Gu Xiaoyou told the story of last night's distress. Everyone in the room frowned, and a trace of condensation flashed in Mu Wuchen's eyes.
"When I thought I was going to die, luckily Mu Wuchen showed up in time and saved me." When Gu Xiaoyou said this, he looked at Mu Wuchen and said with a smile: "I really want to thank you, if it weren't for you
, I can’t just sit here and talk to everyone.”
